Reviews

[Brian Collins · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was, and still is, accurate.

[Angela · Rating 4 out of 5]

Outdated. I’m not sure if there’s an updated version but, this has a lot of great investing information and more perspective on how to plan for your future. I wasn’t sure what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised.

[Monica Willyard Moen · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you read this book when it was written in 1998 as I did, you have seen how accurate it has proven to be. It's still worth reading because the underlying concepts are still worth understanding and acting upon. The author is good at explaining concepts, and the math is easy enough for a fifth or sixth grader to do.

How to predict the stock market in the long-term ... based on birth rates. Dent's mathematical proof impeccable, so join the smart money folks and jump on board with this stock market tip.

Dent should be strung up and horse whipped with in an inch of his life!

[Dave · Rating 5 out of 5]

He has predicted the crash using the baby-boomers in 1920s to the current baby-boomers.

Swing and a miss!

I like Harry Dent. He is well-researched, and writes well. He hit the nail on the head with this one.
